It’s definitely a lot of hard work running your own business – we’ve been through so many ups and downs with Sassy over the past couple of years, we would have loved to have a community to turn to when we needed to find the answers to all those fun and exciting questions like, “How do I work with an accountant?” and “How do we hire people?”… It’s not all glamour here at Sassy, folks! Thankfully, it seems like the answer to our prayers has arrived in the form of new networking community Heels & Deals, who have been brought to Hong Kong by founder Claire Fenner, who set up the first community in Dubai.

Exclusively for female entrepreneurs, Heels & Deals works on a membership system – you pay for a year’s membership at a time, and that gives you access to the Heels & Deals online forums where you can find support, answers to questions and the opportunity to connect with women who can benefit your business. You’ll also enjoy special member prices for Heels & Deals events (speed networking, speaker events and workshops) and special discounts from partner organizations… That’s the “deals” part!

To celebrate the launch of Heels & Deals in Hong Kong, they’re hosting a special evening at Bisous tomorrow – check out all the details below, and hope to see you there!

Hester Aba

Hester is originally from the incredibly glamorous city of Bristol, in England. Determined to escape her West-Country roots (though a love of good scrumpy should never be lost) she packed off for uni at Oxford to waste several years on a degree in Philosophy and never looked back… Following a stint in Switzerland eating too much fondue and meeting her future husband, they jumped at the chance to follow their dream of heading to Asia, and landed in Hong Kong in 2008. Along with partners-in-crime and fellow Tai-Tais, Maura Thompson and Natalie Firestone, she founded Sassy in 2009 and then Sassy Mama in 2011 after the birth of her daughter Elodie. Number 2 daughter Margot arrived in August 2012 and then two months later it was off to her new home in Singapore with tinies in tow. Hester is discovering the Lion City one shophouse at a time with a love for seeking out Singapore’s hidden secrets!
